The Mellion Family

Our Orthodontists

Since Dr. Nick founded Mellion Orthodontics in 1980 along with his two brothers, our practice has remained committed to serving and supporting the communities around us. Today, all three of our orthodontists continue that tradition through active involvement in our local communities and participation in numerous professional organizations.

For decades, we’ve had the privilege of creating generations of smiles and building lasting relationships with families in our community. It is especially meaningful to now welcome the children and grandchildren of many of our past patients into our practice. Being trusted by multiple generations of the same families is one of the greatest compliments we can receive.

We are proud to carry forward the values on which Mellion Orthodontics was founded while continuing to provide personalized, high-quality orthodontic care for generations to come.
